Minotaurs, Dragons and...a Demonic Cow?

o/

I didn't have a whole lot of time for painting this week, though I did get one point of Minotaur Protomechs painted with a second point started. They're rather small, so the paint jobs are decent, though nothing special as you can see:

I figured that numbering the bases was the easiest way to tell them apart.

On the 40k battlefront, Saturday night Neverness came over for a small game with his Demons attacking my Exodites who (up until that point) had been in the process of cleansing their world of the Mon'keigh blight. Apparently, forsaken by the almighty Emperor, the Mon'keigh started praying to whichever gods would listen, and the demons arrived as their...salvation? One of which was apparently the 'demonic cow' mentioned in the title of this post. Neverness took several photos and posted a battle report which you can find here, and it was a damned good game if I do say so myself!

(sorry on the weird alignment of the point values, it all looks just fine in the preview/layout.)

This will be my only post for the week, as tomorrow I'm heading off on vacation. I'm going to Washington DC, to visit the Smithsonian Museums & the various monuments on the National Mall. It should be a lot of fun I think!

Hope you have a great time in DC. Despite all the hassle involved in living there I sometimes even miss the place! I definitely miss the Smithsonian though, working at Natural History was teh coolest job I ever had. Getting to watch the IMAX movies for free was an awesome perk. :) Have fun!!

Yeah I'll bet it was! I volunteer at a museum & like it quite a bit, can't imagine what the behind the scenes at the Smithsonian is like though! Like most (if not all) cities that I've been to, don't think I'd want to live there (Orlando was bad enough) but they do make nice places to visit.

About Me

I got into 40k when I was 19, and my state of personal finances has been all but destroyed ever since. These days I play primarily X-Wing and Bolt Action, but still dabble in 40k, WHFB, CBT, as well as various other odds and ends. I am also weening myself off of a long term addiction to the EVE Online MMO. Basically I'm just your standard issue gaming geek.

I am in no way making any money from this page (though by my description & various posts, you can see that GW is making a hellova lot off of me), and it should be said that I do NOT intend to add banner ads. (I find them intrusive & distracting). This page is purely to show my love of the hobby, which has consumed a fair portion of my life. Thank you for taking the time to read & consider these statements. Now please scroll up & read the fun stuff and not my amateur-ish attempts at 'legaleze'.
